It has very understandable tips that will help you to get traffic to your site,
which is great, because I need understandable!
And the free Etsy SEO Guide you can also find in this Storque post about SEO

Facebook

So while we're gearing up for Earth Day, I thought I'd post a few links.
You've seen the Etsy Trashion Team Facebook page, right?



Are you a fan? Become a fan!
So you have no idea what I'm talking about?
Pam of Remaker suggested that I post some Facebook tips.
If you're not on Facebook yet, I Googled some links that can help you.
In all honesty, once you've created your profile,
it's just a matter of making friends and trying things out.
That, or find your nearest teenager.

I especially like the last link, to the unofficial Facebook resource.
I plan to take a look around & see what I can find for business pages.
That's right - a page for your Trashion!

harvest yarn from old sweaters

I came across several posts about recycling old sweaters recently.
Maybe it's because spring is here and
we don't want to wear sweaters anymore!
And they are all on sale at the thrift stores, right?

But maybe you don't feel like doing all this yourself.
Then you should visit Reknit where someone's mom will do it for you.
But you have to be quick, because they only take the 1st 30 orders every month.
There's only one mom!
